a lot of people use gay/faggot/queer in a derog manner in their everyday speech... but they deny that they're homophobes

a recent encounter with a regular munter...

"shut up you faggot"
"don't like people of my sexual preference huh? afraid of us? or just not comfortable with sexuality?" (everytime someone calls me "gay" i like to reply with accusations of homophobia... just my way really...)
"no i'm not saying that you're gay, and i don't have anything against homosexuals, fuck up, i just think you're a faggot"

freedom of words, gay means happy and faggot's is a pair of stix, nigga is a coloquialism which I wouldn't dare use in front of a homie and nigger is a rascit term denoting a negro who was often seen as a lower form of being, you fags(I mean smokes).
burn books.

pisses me off no end sometimes when people use gay or fag like its a bad thing or something, my responses usually go something like cires. actually bothered making a complaint about someone at uni using fag like that and they got in a bit of strife haha

Matt wrote:Actually, the one I keep catching myself doing is using "gay" for something bad. As in, "that is SO gay." I think that's a really bad one, because it attaches negative connotations to being gay.

Now I have a running in-joke with people where you instead say, "That is so fuckin' straight" for something bad. "That is completely hetero."

I had some gay friends who used to say stuff like that.
OHMIGAWDTHATISSO -HET-

I used to not do it and now I oft find myself saying that something is 'gay' or 'homo-fucking-fag-nuts.' I don't actually like doing it but then calling someone a 'fucken 'tard', a 'useless spastic cock-monkey' or 'Phil Collins' is also abusive to whole other sections of society if it is to be taken in the context that 'gay' means 'homosexual', and I think it was meant to be taken in that context, at least initially. Moral lesson, terms of abuse are prejudicial and it is wrong but people do it more often than they think.

yea like cock fuckin @ P! stupid fucking diabetics its the connatation its made or taken in.

if you mean that your a damn human and you say it with such bitter vitriol, it could be taken as an insult becasue that person doesn't know why your so angry at them and people don't like to be wrong

I suggest not going up to a 'gay' perosn and saying 'fag' unless unless you know them or you want to get smacked.
mind you be like going up to a holocaust survivor and going jew! it can be a slippery slope if at the same time your not setting others straight on their connatation.

I think more people should say 'meh' and dance in the pale light of the moon' ahahaha.

yeah thats a pretty good point and is something that can significantly contribute to crushing someones self esteem for years. i've done it myself around some really good friends who i in no way would even dream of wanting to hurt or make feel bad. it's worth noting how some throw away comment about some obese person you see across the road, on telly or whatever can effect someone who is senstive about their weight.

some amazing beautiful people i know and love have been pretty messed up and made to feel like shit about themselves by arseholes telling them they are fat or whatever, or just by the bullshit portrayal of the 'ideal' body imaged jammed down our throats by the media. and a silly comment made without thinking can bring back all those feelings for them. and it sucks. and i kick myself everytime i do it without thinking
